Help & Guide

A complete explanation of SteamItemTracker and every feature. Use the table of contents to jump straight to a section.

👋 What is SteamItemTracker?

SteamItemTracker is a portfolio tracker for CS2 and Rust items. You follow the Steam Market prices of your items, organize them into portfolios, and see market value and profit/loss (after the Steam fee) at a glance. There is also a searchable database of 20,000+ CS2 items.

🚀 Quick start

Ready to go in under a minute:

  • Pick the CS2 or Rust tab at the top.
  • Search for an item and add it with “+”, or import your whole inventory at once.
  • Enter your buy price (optionally sell price, quantity and fee too).
  • Done — the tracker shows live market value and profit/loss.

📊 Tracker — core features

  • Watchlist: each item as a row with icon, name, type and current market price.
  • Portfolios: group items into multiple portfolios (e.g. “Investments”, “Trades”). The “All” tab aggregates every portfolio of a game.
  • Per item: buy price, sell price, quantity and fee. From these the tracker computes realized and unrealized profit/loss after the Steam fee.
  • Stat tiles at the top: item count, invested, market value, unrealized and realized.
  • “Refresh prices” fetches the latest Steam Market prices.

💱 Prices & currencies

  • 9 selectable currencies: EUR, USD, CHF, GBP, PLN, CAD, JPY, CNY, RUB.
  • Displayed price = lowest current listing; the 30-day median is used as a fallback.
  • Prices are cached and refreshed periodically in the background.

🎒 Inventory import

  • Via Steam login (OpenID) or by entering your SteamID64.
  • Your Steam inventory must be public for this.
  • Default (unpainted) weapons, medals/collectibles and the C4 are filtered out automatically.
  • Items you already track are detected and not added twice.

🎯 Float values

  • For wear items (Factory New … Battle-Scarred) you can enter the float value per item manually.
  • The float is used in the display and the “Float ↑/↓” sorting, and is saved with your data.
  • Note: automatic float lookup is currently unavailable — the former CSFloat service was discontinued and the Steam inventory does not include float values.

📈 Price history (sparklines)

  • A mini trend line per item from the last 30 days of prices (green = up, red = down).
  • History builds up over time — brand-new items have no line yet.

🔔 Price alerts

  • Available to logged-in users only.
  • Bell button on an item → set a target price and direction (drops to ≤ or rises to ≥).
  • When the market price hits your target you get an email; the alert then deactivates automatically.

🔎 Filters, sorting & pages

  • Text search, wear filter and rarity filter (CS2: Consumer through Contraband).
  • 10 sort options: added, name, float, buy price and market price — each ascending/descending.
  • Pagination: 100, 250, 500 or 1000 items per page, navigate with Back/Next.

📁 Import & export

  • CSV import (e.g. from other tools) and CSV export of the currently shown list.
  • JSON backup (a complete export of all portfolios, items and trade data) and JSON restore.

🗃️ CS2 Skin Database

  • A searchable database of 20,000+ CS2 items: skins, stickers, agents, cases and charms.
  • Filter by collection, weapon, rarity and type.

👤 Account vs. guest

  • Logged in: your data is stored in the cloud and synced across all your devices.
  • As a guest: data lives only locally in this browser — no sync, and it can be lost when you clear the browser.
  • Tip: back up guest data with a JSON backup before your first login.
